Khao Lak Nightlife

Nightlife in La On Village

The bar scene is Khao Lak is mellow. Very mellow. With plenty of places to fulfil just about any excess-filled fantasy down the road in Phuket, Khao Lak focuses instead on good clean family fun. The undoubted champion of late night fun is the Happy Snapper, where a great live band entertains a crowd as diverse and colourful as the mural on the ceiling.

By no means the lone option, it’s joined by Freestyle Bar, Marlin Bar, Eule Beer Garden, O’Conner’s Irish Pub, Tarzan Bar, and Mex Biker Bar are all nearly within spitting distance. Ska Bar is in the centre of town, and consists of a small drink hut and open-air tables in the middle of a street-side shopping plaza; there’s no better place to people watch with a cold brew while your significant other rummages for the perfect souvenir for dear old Aunt Gertrude. D.Time is across the street, or head a bit more southerly for pool, sports, and divers (and the people who love them) at Scuba Groupie, located in the Khao Lak Grand City building.

Running Deer – think American Indian hunting lodge – is on the road leading to Nang Thong Beach, and Farrell’s Irish Pub is closer to the beach at Suwan Palm Resort’s entrance.

Nightlife in Bang Niang

In Bang Niang you can find your favourite sporting events at Gecko Sports Bar & Grill, live Thai music at 813 Degrees Bar, pool tables at P&Y Bar, and great drinks at Piranha Bar.

You can also enjoy a drink in a local style bar such as Song's Bar, located 150 meters on the left after you entered the street near the 7/11 facing the Thai Army boat brought onland during the tsunami. The bar is popular among divers and expats.
